UKMO data agrees with CPC with regards temperatures being above average each month and for the season. Rainfall data suggests that parts of Argyll, S Scotland, NW Englnd and NW Wales had above average rain and most other parts had below normal rain especially the S and E of UK. For the season as a whole below normal rainfall largely due to very dry April. .

Comment on the summary: Above normal temperature was correct but the idea that the N might see higher anoamlies was not correct. Rainfall forecast of above normal in NW was OK and suggestion of drier in S was good as was the idea the the W and S (less good) might be wetter in March. Overall the forecast for above normal rain was not correct. Poor forecast for the very dry April.
